        The NASIG Awards & Recognition Committee and NASIG Executive Board
are pleased to announce that the winner of the Marcia Tuttle International
Grant for 2000 is Jean Hirons, CONSER Coordinator, Library of Congress.

        The Marcia Tuttle International Grant was established in 1998 to
provide funding for a NASIG member working in serials to foster
international communication and education through overseas activities such
as but not limited to research, collaborative projects, job exchanges, and
presentation of papers at conferences.

        Named in honor of Marcia Tuttle, whose many and varied
accomplishments have had a dramatic impact on the serials profession, the
grant provides $1000 to help defray the costs of international travel.

        Jean's project is to expand the CONSER program to the
international arena. She will be traveling to Great Britain later this
summer to extend the work of the Serials Cooperative Training Program, to
promote CONSER membership, to support the proposed revisions to AACR2
relating to seriality, and to further cooperative efforts for serials
cataloging in general.  If Great Britain joins CONSER as a result of
Jean's efforts, the serials community will benefit from an enhanced
database from which to draw records.

        Please join the A&R Committee and the NASIG Executive Board in
congratulating Jean and wishing her the best of good fortune on this
project.
